Is it possible to take a "standard" svga type lcd display and wire it
to a typical SVGA video card? How does it differ inside a laptop that
has both an external SVGA adapter and the internal LCD connection? I'd
love to use some of these LCD displays I have in some systems. any info
would be appreciated.

Yeah, it'd be nice to use all of the cheap classic LCD plannels out there
as low-energy desktop displays. All you need is a little hardware. There
are two basic routes: get an LCD controller card for your PC, or get a
VGA-to-LCD converter. I haven't found cheap sources for either, though.

I didn't realize there was such a major difference between how CRT
signals are sent and LCD signals are... I guess you learn something
every day, right? although somehow blowing 250 bucks for an ISA card to
drive my LCD seems a bit excessive... I think i would just buy a whole
laptop sysbd first :)
